SUMMARY
At its meeting of January 6, 2015, the City Council changed the time of regular City Council meetings from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Special Orders of the Day and the Consent Calendar being heard at 4:00 p.m. and all other items being heard beginning at 6:00 p.m.
At its meeting of February 17, 2015, the City Council directed staff to return with an item to change the time of regular City Council meetings from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and to remove the requirement for public comments and business items to begin at 6:00 p.m. This item is presented as a result of the City Council's direction.
In order to streamline the process for any future changes in regular City Council meeting times, staff recommends an amendment to the Municipal Code to allow the start time of City Council meetings to be set by resolution (Attachment 1). Adoption of the proposed ordinance is required to make that amendment.
Adoption of the ordinance requires a first and second reading, and will not take effect until 30 days after its adoption. Should the Council place the proposed ordinance on first reading, the second reading will be scheduled for March 17, 2015, and would therefore be effective April 16, 2015.
